They are already greatly looking forward to meeting you!

An and Joeri, the new guardians of Athena Helios

Yes, they are here!

We are very proud to introduce you to An and Joeri, our new caretakers. Their enthusiasm and passion for naturism should ensure a warm welcome and a great atmosphere at Athena Helios.

The new guardians of Athena Helios

We are two young fifty-somethings, from the Kempen region and East Flanders. We met as twenty-somethings, in Leuven. We lost touch for a while, until our paths crossed again in 2020. Yes, in that corona period where we were forced to fold back on ourselves and outdoor activities.

We both nurture a deep love of nature. We have been practicing ecological gardening for several years, in our own permaculture garden and in a communal bio-picking garden. In addition, we have recently become proud certified beekeepers and harvest our own honey.

Our philosophy: simplicity and nature

We have a special interest in all that nature produces and love spending time outdoors. Pure enjoyment, to the rhythm of the seasons and all that they offer us. This is our source of inspiration and energy. Hence naturism as a lifestyle - with an emphasis on simplicity, freedom and connection with nature.

Naturism lets us live in harmony with nature and makes us aware of the beauty and tranquility found in simplicity. It works to relieve stress. For us, it means a liberating way of life in which we can be ourselves, without masks. It invites respect, both for ourselves and for the world around us. Values we stand behind.

Helios, a great new challenge

We had been looking for a new joint challenge for some time. Something we could put our tons of energy and passion into, something we could do together. Athena Helios is a project that suits us and that we both put our shoulders to. We each wish to contribute in our own way to make Helios even more enjoyable, into a place where you feel at home carefree.

A powerful and committed team

An is the energetic side of the duo. She loves sports and adventure challenges such as the Oxfam Trailwalker, the 100 km run for Come on Against Cancer and other running races, and she loves zumba and salsa. She likes to roll up her sleeves and is socially engaged. Joeri is more the philosophical and quieter type. He takes a patient approach, making things fall into the fold in a calm manner, yet correctly and quickly. So An and Joeri complement each other perfectly and that is exactly what makes their cooperation strong.
